The Dutch deep state

The Dutch deep state is yet not very well documented here.

History

The Netherlands is a former colonial power. A survey published in 2020 showed that the Dutch were more positive about the Dutch empire than any other former colonial power.

World War II

Operation Gladio was set up in the Netherlands at or about the end of World War II. It is unknown what role this has played in Dutch deep politics.

1950s

The first Bilderberg, 1954

The first Bilderberg Meeting was held in the Netherlands in 1954. The group has had 181 Dutch members over the years, more than other similarly sized European states. (By way of comparison, there have only been two documented Dutch visitors to the Pinay Cercle: Cornelis Bossers & Frans Alphons Maria Alting von Geusau).

US Deep state influence

In the 1950s and 1960s, US Deep state had vastly more money than the BVD, and used it to exert influence into the Netherlands. By 1958, for example, the CIA paid the salaries of approximately 51 of the 691 employees of the Dutch service.

1960s

Max Kohnstamm was a Dutch deep politician and Secretary General of the Action Committee for the United States of Europe. As well as attending the 1961 Bilderberg he attended 27 subsequent meetings, and became a member of the Bilderberg Advisory Committee, which chooses the steering committee.

1970s

The Dutch Prince Bernhard and Queen Juliana returning from Italy because of developments in the Lockheed scandal. In the back seat Juliana with her dog Sara. The Netherlands, August 26, 1976.

Prince Bernhard played a major role until his exposure by the Lockheed/Bribery scandals, which caused the cancellation of the 1976 Bilderberg. When Dutch Prime Minister Joop den Uyl ordered an inquiry Bernhard refused to answer reporters' questions, stating: "I am above such things". The results of the inquiry led to a constitutional crisis in which Queen Juliana threatened to abdicate if Bernhard was prosecuted. Bernhard was spared, but stepped down from several public positions and from chairing the Bilderberg. Victor Halberstadt is an economist who has maintained a low public profile in spite of attending all Bilderberg meetings since 1975, and being honorary Secretary General of the group from 1980-2000.

1980s

Paul Bremer was US Ambassador to the Netherlands from 1983-1986.

1981 Dutch Cabinet crisis

"Hollanditis" was a word coined in 1981 by US historian Walter Laqueur to describe the rise of Dutch pacifism. In 1983, 550,000 participants demonstrated in The Hague aimed against the deployment of US cruise missiles carrying nuclear warheads.

Revolutionary Anti-Racist Action

Full article: Revolutionary Anti-Racist Action

Revolutionary Anti-Racist Action (RaRa) bombed property. The Dutch Interior Minister termed them a "terrorist" group.

2000s

Pim Fortuyn was assassinated on 6 May 2002, a week before prime ministerial elections.

2010s

Sijbren de Jong set up the Dutch cluster of the Integrity Initiative.

In 2019 the Clingendael Institute hosted Strengthening Europe's 'soft' and 'hard' defence, a Chatham House rule meeting attended by at least 4 members of the UK Deep state's Institute for Statecraft.

Groups

The Netherlands is home to several large multinational companies, including Heineken, Unilever, ABN AMRO, ING Group and Rabobank. Also Philips‎ (which was a major funder of Le Cercle) and Royal Dutch Shell (generally lead by Bilderbergers in recent years).

Clingendael Institute

Full article: Clingendael Institute

Strengthening Europe's 'soft' and 'hard' defence, a closed door Chatham House Rule meeting attended by the Institute for Statecraft.

In 1983 Clingendael Institute was founded ^{[By whom?]}. It is supported by the Dutch Ministry of Defence and mentioned among "major national think tanks" (such as Egmont, Chatham House etc.) in Integrity Initiative documents

Functions

The Netherlands has an image of impartiality and hosts several international organizations, often in the Hague. It has its own military info-war system.

NATO's public relations

A 2019 poll revealed the Netherlands to be the most in favour of military intervention under NATO's clause 5

NATO is popular in the Netherlands, a country and actively participates in all parts of its joint military operations, including propaganda about them. The Dutch government ran the deeply flawed 'investigation' of the Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 incident in the Ukraine. The Dutch leaders are willing to do anything to "stay on as members of the in-group that runs the Western world, to be taken serious inside NATO [..] to be in the core countries of NATO."

The country is seat for NATO courts such as the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia, the ICC and the ICJ which are used to prosecute NATO's enemies while being depicted as impartially dispensing justice on behalf of the "international community".

International Criminal Court

Full article: International Criminal Court

The International Criminal Court in the Hague

The ICC wrote Tony Cartalucci is neither "international nor a legitimate court, but is most certainly criminal. It is an institutionalized tool – one of many – used by Western corporate-financier interests to coerce and control nations across the developing world."

International Court of Justice

Full article: International Court of Justice

The International Court of Justice ignored the blatant illegality of the 2003 Iraq War, even when the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission found Tony Blair and a bunch of US government officials guilty of war crimes.

Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

Full article: Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons

The Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons, infamous for its biased investigations of alleged chemical weapons incidents (like Douma), has its HQ in the Hague. This is despite the heavy cover-up of disasters like the Bijlmer disaster.

Others

Other Dutch foundations and organizations contribute to "regime change" and serve as cover for spies in the joint Western foreign policy. Bellingcat has its own office in the Hague and receives significant funding from Dutch sources through formally 'private' organizations, like the Adessium Foundation.

Trafficking

The port of Rotterdam and Schiphol Airport are major world transit hubs for all kind of cargo. Rotterdam in particular is a central node in drug trafficking to Western Europe.

 

An example

Page name	Description
Operatiën en Inlichtingen	Prince Bernhard started this division that quite strangely - investigated, confirmed, and even covered up by the MiVD - had most of its weapons ending in the hands of the Dutch leading drug kingpins like Klaas Bruinsma. That Bruinsma and Bernhard are also linked in a pedophile sex ring is a third rail topic.

AIVD	“Everyone spies”	AIVD	2020
Dries van Agt	“Marcel van Dam had the for many plausible opinion that the Prince of the Netherlands should be handled by the Dutch State as every other citizen. So to be brought before trial. I, as Minister of Justice didn't think that was completely unreasonable.”	Dries van Agt	2005
Jan Peter Balkenende	“Of course, even if we ever determine that Volkert van der Graaf was an agent, wittingly or unwittingly, of a "liberal CIA", that does not mean that the Fortuyn case is automatically closed. In this article plenty of evidence has been presented that indicates Fortuyn and close allies as Theo van Gogh, Oscar Hammerstein, Gerard Spong and Tomas Ross, like Volkert van der Graaf and "liberal CIA" NGO network and Friends of the Earth, are part of a parallel security state-controlled network of (neo)conservatives and related right-wingers, which we could well term "conservative CIA". At a higher level, this (neo)conservative network actually got its way with the 2004 murder of Theo van Gogh by an Islamic radical.”	Joël van der Reijden Jan Peter Balkenende
Jan Peter Balkenende	“I don't get why you are so annoying and negative about this. Let's be happy together! Let's say: The Dutch are finally able to do this again, that VOC-mentality, looking beyond borders, dynamic! Right?!”	Jan Peter Balkenende
Klaas Bruinsma	“Boys Club de Amstel ... ran by a certain Mr. Kroner [Kreuner]. A business partner of him was liquidated in the 90's, an acquaintance of de Dominee [Klaas Bruinsma], who regularly visited there. ... Getting back to Piet van Haut: This fantasy-filled caricature also brought along a certain Marc [Dutroux], later known as the Monster of Belgium. This Marc had contacts with Duscedo, of the imperium of the gentlemen Tukkers and consorts. [Incorrect, unclear sentence follows, so loosely translated:] With Charles Geerts pulling the strings.”	Joël van der Reijden ISGP Klaas Bruinsma	2014
Klaas Bruinsma	“Who is to say that Abbas, Bruinsma and "the Hakkelaar" weren't used as pawns in a game much larger than they were, much as Mink Kok seems to have been used time and again? They are allowed to flourish a little bit, receive a little protection, a little legal aid, and when their time is up some rival gang takes them out and that one gets the protection when necessary. It's entirely possible. But where would the manipulation of these mafia groups come from? Most likely CIA Gladio/"stay behind" networks, which, during the Cold War, revolved around Prince Bernhard and individuals as Bib van Lanschot and Cees van den Heuvel.”	Joël van der Reijden ISGP Klaas Bruinsma	2014
Klaas Bruinsma	“Is Bruinsma's early connection with Mabel a coincidence? Maybe. But there are an awful lot of coincidences here. Mafia bosses Klaas Bruinsma, Etienne Urka and John Engelsma all seem to have had close direct or, through Oscar Hammerstein and Frits Salomonson, very close indirect ties to the Dutch royal family. Rutger Schimmelpenninck, partner in Boekel de Neree and curator of Text Lite, also has very close ties to the royal family.”	Joël van der Reijden ISGP Klaas Bruinsma	2014
Ruud Lubbers	“At the foot away, this trouble-field needs to be down-tunneled in a motion, so that appointments along this road with the cabinet can be out-concluded quickest and as best.”	Ruud Lubbers
Netherlands/Deep state/Functions	“The accusations against Bruinsma, Geerts, Scala and Videorama speak for themselves. And this same group has its ties to members of the Dutch royal family. Not mentioned yet, in 1989 Geerts put up a $500,000 bail for U.S. porn boss Reuben Sturman, a good friend of his. Back in the 1970s and 1980s Sturman and his partner Robert DiBernardo, both working for the Gambino crime family (DiBernardo was murdered on orders of John Gotti, soon after he (once again) was indicted for production and distribution of child pornography), maintained a virtual monopoly on the hardcore porn industry in the United States. They were also repeatedly accused of involvement in the production and distribution of child pornography, which until the late 1970s still was somewhat sanctioned. A gigantic portion of this type of material actually was imported from the Netherlands at the time.”	Joël van der Reijden	October 2014
Pieter Omtzigt	“Long I've objected comparing Malta and the Netherlands. But here something else is not functioning. That is power and opposing power. There is such an intimate connection between the coalition and parliament, between the parliament and the media, between the parliament and the justice system. If you ask difficult questions, you become the problem. There is something wrong with the checks and balances. And it goes further. The criminal justice system doesn't work anymore. All the NGOs that hog the government's money, all don't work anymore. Know what happens nowadays? They don't dare to speak, because the government will kill their subsidy. We've organized or system so precisely that our flock of politicians values the party-chairman more than the electorate.”	Pieter Omtzigt	19 January 2021
Pieter Omtzigt	“I've stopped with that case after Sybrand Buma stormed into my office. Because he had been given an instruction from Mark Rutte that I had to stop with the questions in parliament about Joris Demmink.”	Pieter Omtzigt	10 October 2020
Operation Gladio/Exposure	“When we began 4 years ago with this case, we couldn't believe this lawyer, but now I can't deny it any more. We discovered that the justice departments in Belgium, The Netherlands and in particular in Amsterdam have made several cases in international weapons smuggling silently disappear. These departments have consistently remarked that illegal ownership of weapons would be tackled directly. I can't deny that this has happened on purpose. Of course, the Dutch Ministry of Justice makes mistakes that sometimes have sad consequences, but, these volumes, this stubborn, and this simple can only happen if it was your intention all along. Admitting it, they will never do, because you'd have to admit why you did this, and the experiences from the 1980s with Gladio learns that these sort of deals will be denied till the bitter end. Which means we'll probably never know of the exact dealings.”	Peter R. de Vries	2007
Joël van der Reijden	“There most certainly is evidence that quite a bit of child abuse takes place at the highest level of society and that people in this milieu for the most part care little about this problem. Also, there have been very demonstrable ties between the royal house of Orange, Klaas Bruinsma-Etienne Urka-John Engelsma-Charles Geerts Maffia and Intelligence & Operations. This last group was the Dutch brand of CIA Operation Gladio/"Stay Behind" network. These ties have to be investigated much deeper, because it appears that it's from this milieu that a lot of manipulation of the Dutch state has taken place, seemingly including paedophile entrapment operations. And isn't it just really strange that all Dutch names that have been leaked over the years with regard to paedophilia include homosexuals?”	Joël van der Reijden	October 2014
Mark Rutte	“Vision is like an elephant that robs your view. (...) When I think of the word "vision" I immediately think: go see an ophthalmologist!.”	Mark Rutte
Henk Vredeling	“Congresses don't buy jet-fighters”	Henk Vredeling	1975
Peter R. de Vries	“When we began 4 years ago with this case, we couldn't believe this lawyer, but now I can't deny it any more.
